Those who see no military solution in Syria should withdraw troops: Turkish President

Turkish President said on Monday that those who say there is no military solution for Syria crisis should pull their troops out, after Russia and the US in a Saturday statement said there was no military solution to the conflict in Syria and called on all parties to take part in the Geneva process.

“I am having trouble understanding these comments. If a military solution is out of the question, then those who say this should pull their troops out,” Recep Erdogan told reporters before flying to Russia, Reuters reported.

He said he would discuss the issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as a political solution in Syria, joint steps with Russia in Syria’s Afrin region, and details of an S-400 air defense missile system deal.
